Frequently Asked Questions

Can I design my own cake?

All our cakes are bespoke and we love helping people turn their cake dreams into reality. We can work with you to bring your ideas to life and create the perfect wedding cake!

Prices will vary according to the design and size, please contact us for an accurate quotation.

What flavours can I choose?

Traditional flavours such as vanilla, chocolate and lemon are the most popular. Why not go for something a little different like white chocolate and raspberry, lemon and blueberry or chocolate orange?

Do you require a deposit?

A non-refundable booking fee of £150 is required for all wedding cake bookings, 50% of the total quote for celebration cakes. The remaining balance is then payable 2 calendar months before your event date. Orders placed less than 8 weeks before the event are payable in full at time of order. We accept bank transfer and cash.

Can you deliver my cake?

Delivery is free within 15 miles of Bicester for cakes over £200. We always personally deliver and set up your wedding cake on your wedding day to ensure that it arrives in perfect condition and is left ready to be cut at your wedding reception. Celebration cakes are normally collected by you at a pre-arranged date and time. Delivery charges vary depending on distance – please ask for more information.

If you would like to collect and transport your wedding cake yourself, the cake will be packed in a sturdy transport box but please be aware that we cannot then be held responsible for any damage incurred during transport and set-up (see terms and conditions).

How soon do I need to order my cake?

We usually get booked 3-18 months in advance. May, June, July and August are always the busiest months, so it is prudent to order as you as soon as you have your venue booked. A £150 booking fee will secure your date.

Do you offer consultations?

No obligation wedding consultations are held at our home near Bicester. We like to have the opportunity to meet you face to face to discuss your cake over a cup of tea! You will be able to taste samples of up to five of our flavours (these can be eaten at the consultation or boxed to take home). To help us get an idea of what your ideal design would be, it is always helpful to bring fabric samples, photos, invitations or even a link to your Pinterest board.

Consultations for up to three people (by appointment only) usually last around an hour. If it is not possible for you to attend a consultation with us, we can conduct one on the telephone or via email and post cake samples to you for a small fee.

What size cake do I need? How much will it cost?

This is a rough guide to our prices. Please remember your cake will be unique to you so will be priced according to your final design:

3 Tier iced wedding cakes to serve around 90 guests start from £480

4 Tier iced wedding cakes to serve around 120 guests start from £590

3 tier ‘naked’ or ‘buttercream’ cakes to serve up to 100 guests start from £375

Our minimum order is £95 for celebration cakes, £250 for buttercream wedding cakes and £460 for iced wedding cakes

All our iced cakes have a layer of chocolate ganache in a matching flavour underneath the icing.

The finishing details and decorations will add the final and personal touch to your cake. Decorations are priced according to design and intricacy. You can choose from handmade sugar flowers and mouldings, piped details, ribbons and rice paper flowers to create a beautifully memorable cake. Fresh flowers or a topper can be also added.

Do you make egg-free, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free cakes?

We often make vegan, egg-frre and dairy-free cakes as Isabelle is vegan and she has tried and tested recipes to hand.

We do NOT offer gluten-free, nut-free, egg free or dairy-free cakes for customers with allergies (available only to customers who avoid those products by choice).

We do use products containing gluten, nuts, eggs and dairy in our kitchen so cannot guarantee your cake will be free of traces of these products.

How can I pay for my cake?

We accept cash or Bank Transfer.

Do you make Disney cakes?

Unfortunately, we are unable to make Disney character cakes due to copyright laws.
